i think evatt, like most, could see he wasnt at his best
what we didnt have, in his opinion, was a better option
i honestly cant remember who was playing but pretty sure that at least maghoma and CMG were unavailable
and maybe thomasson wasnt at the level he is now
anyway, its not so important, but most footballers never get to 100% fitness during the season
i think the better ones are the ones who can still perform v close to their best when struggling with impact injuries
